# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:

Comment 1 Felix Luk 2006-08-21 02:29:45 UTC
/usr/lib/libXfont.so.1 is linked to libXfont.so.1.4.1

Comment 2 Adam Jackson 2006-08-21 18:27:10 UTC
What does 'rpm -vV libXfont' print?

Comment 3 Felix Luk 2006-08-22 01:05:57 UTC
Output of "rpm -vV libXfont":

........    /usr/lib
........    /usr/lib/libXfont.so.1
..5.....    /usr/lib/libXfont.so.1.4.1
........    /usr/share/doc/libXfont-1.0.0

........  d /usr/share/doc/libXfont-1.0.0/COPYING
........  d /usr/share/doc/libXfont-1.0.0/ChangeLog

Comment 4 Adam Jackson 2006-08-22 14:19:01 UTC
The '5' seems to indicate that your libXfont got corrupted somehow.  Doing:

rpm -e --nodeps libXfont
yum install libXfont

should improve matters.

Comment 5 Felix Luk 2006-08-24 02:31:35 UTC
I followed the fix yesterday and something odd happened. After I completed the
instructions and ran startx, I got this error:

Could not init font path element unix/:7100, removing from list!

Fatal server error:
could not open default font 'fixed'


However when the box was switched on today X Window started fine. There seems to
be no errors in Xorg.0.log

Very strange.
